Likud's settlement policies were not on the agenda during the visit of
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Washington in early September.
Israel's redeployment from Hebron, postponed since late March, is still
not on the horizon. Nor are there any plans to begin discussing the
first stage of Israel's "further deployment" out of unspecified parts
of Zone C, as called for in the Oslo II accord.
Settlement leaders are frustrated by the slow pace of anticipated changes in Likud's settlement policies inherited from the previous Labor government. The YESHA Council has announced that expansion will begin even before required permits are awarded. The minister of defense is currently considering 200 construction plans.
